An Anecdote of the Late cunsmith
fs.r Frederick Goth.

In connection with the name OF Frederick
Goth, the gunsmith, whose death was record
ed yesterday, we are reminded of little an
ecdote known probably to but few.
Mr. Goth, who was a gunsmith by trade,
was very fond of cunning, and whenever he
had holiday used to spend it looking for
game in Cape Elizabeth, where it was much
more plenty then than now. The Hon.
Thomas Amory Deblois was a keen sports
man., who prided himself-as so many 9TH
ers do at the present day-on his cunning
according to all the recognized rules of sport
ing, and on possessing real Joe Martin
gun, and the only pure blooded English set
ter dog in Portland.
One day scion of an English noble house
visited Portland and took up his quarters at
the fashionable hostelrv. the Misses Jones's
Boarding House on Park street. He brought
letters of introduction from prominent peo-
pie to Mr.. Deblois and that gentleman deter
mined to give him days shooting. So one
fine morning a carriage rolled away from the
door with Mr.. Deblois and his friend bound
for the Cape, the two gentlemen in tweed
suits, with their guns and other parapherna-
liza, the setter dog, and great hamper of
good things on the box with the driver.
During the day Mr.. DebIois's dog flushed
a bird, which, as it took flight, Mr.. Deblois
fired at but missed. The bird lighted on the
ground little way from the sportsmen
when, all at once, a man (who looked like a
workman and who had not been noticed be-
fore) with an old patched game bag and an
ordinary looking gun, elevated his weapon
and knocked over the bird. Then the Hon.
Mr.. Deblois's blood fairly boiled in his
veins. He approached the man and in not
the most carefully selected language, asked
him If he didn't know better than to shoot
bird in that way, and why he didn't bring
dog to flush his game properly. The man,
who happened to be Mr. Goth, said not a
word and the parties separated.
Late In the Gay Mr.. Deblois and his friend
were driving home. They hao shot on scen-
tifc principles and only obtained a few
birds AS they were driving across Port
land bridge they spied in the distance a man
on foot with gun on one shoulder and what
looked like heavy game bag ON the other
As they were passing him Mr.. Deblos told
the driver to STOP, his horses, and turning to
Mr.. Goth, he said:
well, my man, what luck have you had 2''
''Oh very good" replied Mr.. Goth.
How many birds have you got?" said
| Mr.. Deblois.
Mr.. Goth slung round his bag, opened it.
and showing 1t piled to the top with wood .
| cock, replied, $50 many"
Great Scott" said M. Deblois "where
| on earth did you get all those BIRDS?
On the ground. CURLY replied Mr.. Goth.
Get up" called out Mr.. Deblois to the
! driver, and those horses made about as good
time into Portland as they ever did in their
lives.

Betrayed by a Coat Tail.

One day last week, when the vestibule
train bound west had proceeded short dis
lance from the Maine Central station in Ban
gor, the engineer discovered long coat tail
Tapping in the breeze on the cow catcher of
the engine. He at once suspected that there
must be some human connection with the
coat tail, and stopping the train to investi-
gate found tramp ensconced on the narrow
cow-catcer. with his mind evidently made
up for i Tree ride. He was politely request
ed to come off the perch and did so, though
clearly disappointed at the turn of affairs.
The coat tails gave him away and the next
tramp who tries it will probably shave the
tails off his coat pretty closely. 1t was lucky
for him that he was discovered, as it is
doubtful if he could have hung ON the narrow
cow catcher of the vestibule train engine
until Portland was reached.

Testing the iron Wheels.

The other morning score of freight cars
